7 BIBLE VERSES FOR THOSE WHO FEEL BROKEN

Child: Mommy, these crayons are broken. Can I throw them away?
Mommy: Broken crayons still color.

As a child, whenever a crayon broke, I would throw it away with disgust, needing the perfection of the moment to create my latest design. As an adult I have learnt that even broken crayons colour. ... Every adult I meet has a story that has defined them. (Source: Amanda Viviers)

Broken things. Shattered lifes, broken dreams. Very familiar to me. But Jesus heals the broken. Transforms them into new creatures for the glory of God!

Jesus... doesn't leave us broken. 

JOHN GILL: 

Christ is a physician; many are the diseases of his people; he heals them all by his blood, stripes, wounds; and among the rest their broken hearts, which none can cure but himself; hearts broken by the word, as a hammer, accompanied with a divine power; which have a true sense of sin, and godly sorrow for it; are truly contrite, such as the Lord has a respect unto, dwells with, and accepts of; and these he heals, and only he, by pouring in oil and wine, as the good Samaritan; or by applying pardoning grace and mercy to them, streaming through his blood; and bindeth up their wounds; or "griefs" (n); and so gives them ease, health, and peace, for which they have abundant reason to call upon their souls to bless his name and sing his praise; see Psalm 103:1; compare with this Isaiah 61:1.
